We've shown off so many kitchen shortcuts over the years (as has the internet at large), that it's pretty much impossible to narrow down what things work better than others, and more importantly, what's actually worth doing to save you time in the kitchen. So with that in mind, we'd like to hear what you actually do in the kitchen. We'll get it started, but we're more interested in your thoughts. Here's how to format your tip:

Include one tip per comment, please: Let's keep this list simple to read. If you want to make multiple suggestions, make multiple comments.

Try not to repeat: If someone else does what you do, star their comment and add your own experience instead of making a new post.

Tell us why it works for you: Everyone's a bit different, so tell us how you do it, how it works for you, and why it's worth learning.
